Cool if true, but also arguably the worst Dragon Quest game.

Commence with the arguments

I give that title to Dragon Quest IX.

Uh, Torneko Taloon is awesome, sir. He basically is an NPC that you happen to play as, a merchant family man that saves the day with his good business skills. Plus he's the guy that started the entire Mystery Dungeon series.

As for DQ7 remake, that's a little odd. Besides the original trilogy and iOS ports, it's actually the most recent game in the series to get remade (the 2015 3DS remake) so it'd be weird to get another remake of it.

I'd rather them just go in order. No reason why they can't remake 4 or 5 in HD2D next. Those are both more popular than 7 anyway.

3DS is an outdated system, there's actually a ton of jrpgs stuck there that need modern releases.

As far as I know, The PS2 remake of DQV was never released outside of Japan so it's lesser known.

There's a fan translation, works great on PCSX2. I would like to see that one get a modern release as well though, even if its just a port of the PS2 version, holds up really well.

One of my favorite RPG game. But I enjoyed DQ8 more than DQ7.

I loved the game on 3DS. Amazing music and i don't say that often for Soundtracks.

Okay, buddy. I'll give Dragon Quest XI another try.

I think XI is incredible but no game is for everybody.

it's modern Square, so all the characters will be tall lanky metrosexuals in Banana Republic outfits with laughably cringe dialogue and voice acting

I don't think Nomura has anything to do with Dragon Quest (thank God).

I'm curious when we will get infos on Dragon Quest XII. I hope it's not in development hell.

These cowards need to free Dragon Quest VIII from the PS2 and 3DS clutches.

It's in development hell.

The most annoying part of Square Enix ignoring the existence of DQ9 is that some years ago, there was an interview with Yuji Horii and Akihiro Hino (Level-5, the guys who did the original DQ9) joking around about a DQ9 remake. And I totally took that as a hint because no way Square Enix PR would let this happen otherwise.

Fuck everyone. And fuck me.

The game is alright, it as other said, the choice to remake VII over say V or VI is puzzling.

VIII would require bigger budget for a true Remake, IMO, hence their reluctance. That said, it should be by far the one to drive sales so who the hell knows what SE is thinking.
